21st century

tinycartridge:

Around 15 years ago, Enix America closed its doors, leaving many RPG fans to wonder what would become of SNES titles available in Japan but not yet in the U.S., like Dragon Quest VI and Tactics Ogre.

At the time Nintendo Power encouraged readers to send in their thoughts about the shuttering, and the magazine printed several letters, including this one:

“I’m now 76 years old. I may not live long enough to see Dragon Quest VI unless someone takes action soon.” - Edith Jeter, Puyallup, WA

Tactics Ogre eventually saw a North American release on the PS1, but Dragon Quest V and VI remained exclusive to Japan until their DS remakes. A year after Dragon Quest VI’s DS remake shipped in Japan, it’s finally coming to the States on February 14 (coincidentally, a Tactics Ogre PSP remake also releases the day after!).

While that will make for a fine Valentine’s Day gift for RPG enthusiasts, what of Edith? Racketboy forumer Urban Champion-e recently came across the NP article while flipping through an old issue he found at his parent’s house, saw the elderly gamer’s note, and wondered if she would finally get to play the game 15 years later.

Summary: fucking LAM ladders

Description: You can climb whatever the fuck you want by jumping on LAMs.

Steps to Reproduce:

1) Acquire two-three LAMs (gas grenades work, too—what a fucking misnomer).

2) Put one LAM on a wall.

3) Jump on that shit.

4) Realize that you’re not gonna fucking fall back to the ground.

5) Make like a ladder out of them.

6) Fuck up our level design.

Solution: When was the last time you fucking went rock climbing? Do we have a story in here about how JC is a fucking expert rock climber? Is that a skill that the fucking future police have? Because I’m pretty sure you’d need to be the Jesus of fucking rock climbing, plus a crazy asshole, to try climbing up a building using fucking mines. Don’t make stupid shit collidable.

BATTLE FOR MIDDLE YOU (MAURICE DONOVAN DUB) by pmrrecords

I dont dislike music like this, I just dont have much function for it.  Pretty, minimal dance music — its just rarely what i’m looking for … but Ramadanman is my exception.  His remix of this Julio Bashmore‘s tune is awash with goodvibe.  This song probably already has art associated, but he should holler at Kilmt for his next remezcla.

The reports of virgin goddesses who produced numerous children on Mt. Olympus and elsewhere has been a cause of considerable confusion. The reason for the confusion is the ambiguity, linguistic as well as ethnographic of the term “virginity.” Whereas in modern Euro-American cultures the term…
